Chocolate Toffee Cupcakes on white plate with partially eaten cupcake on black background

I have made this recipe for Chocolate Toffee Cupcakes twice in the last month, but this is a recipe that I have been making for almost twenty years.

I found this recipe a few years ago, long before I ate gluten-free, in a Taste of Home magazine.

I have made both the regular version and the gluten free version so many times over the years.

I have made them for my husband’s office. I have made them for our family and for so many church potluck dinners.

We love them that much.

Chocolate Toffee Cupcakes on white plate with hand holding cupcake on black background

The cake batter part of these cupcakes is basically an old fashioned wacky cake recipe. That means that the batter is egg free.

Years ago, we had a staff member whose son was allergic to eggs. This made it hard to find cookies and other treats to bake for them. When I first saw this recipe, I knew it would be perfect for this family because it does not contain eggs. I loved to make these cupcakes for them.

And you don’t miss the eggs. The taste and texture of these Chocolate Toffee Cupcakes are so good.

The other thing that I love about this recipe is the combination of chocolate and toffee. How can you go wrong combining those two things? Chocolate and toffee are one of my favorite combinations.

If you need an easy dessert, give these Chocolate Toffee Cupcakes a try!

Can I make chocolate toffee cupcakes gluten free?

Yes, these are so easy to make gluten free. I use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend. Other blends may work, but they have not been tested.

To make them gluten free you also need to be sure all the ingredients, including the toffee bits, are gluten free. The Heath brand toffee bits are labeled gluten free.

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits - I buy the bits that you find near the chocolate chips, but heath or skor candy bars work also. If you are making gluten free version be sure they are gluten free.

FROSTING

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk ( or enough milk for the right texture to spread the frosting)

  2. In aother bowl whisk the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Gradually add to dry ingredients to wet ingredients just until combined.
  4. Stir in toffee bits.
  5. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
  6. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. For frosting, combine confectioners' sugar and cocoa; set aside.
  9. In a large bowl, beat butter and 1/2 cup cocoa mixture until smooth.
  10. Add milk, vanilla and remaining cocoa mixture; beat until desired spreading consistency is reached.
  11. Stir in 3/4 cup toffee bits.
  12. Frost cupcakes.
  13. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  14. This makes about 12 cupcakes.

Notes

If you are making gluten free version be sure to read labels to make sure that your ingredients are gluten free.

Way back in 2008, I shared a recipe for Chocolate Toffee Pecan Cookies. I decided it was finally time to share the gluten free version of these cookies.

These cookies are one of my all time favorite cookies to make. I used to make them all the time, but between going gluten free and my oldest daughter’s nut allergy, I went years without making them.

My daughter grew up, graduated from college, and moved out several years ago. That means I can now cook with nuts again.

It also means that I can now make these Gluten Free Chocolate Toffee Pecan Cookies.

These cookies were so easy to adapt to gluten free using Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend and the Heath Toffee Bits that are gluten free.

]]> Puny’s Macaroni and Cheese from the Mitford Cookbook is a fun dinner idea for fans of the Mitford books by Jan Karon.

Are you wondering who Puny is and why I am sharing her recipe for macaroni and cheese?

It is no secret that I love cookbooks, and I collect them. Did you know I also love to read?

By reading, I mean I read about one hundred books a year. I don’t just love reading; I read a lot of books.

I even have a website, From Our Bookshelf, where I share book reviews, book lists, and all kinds of bookish things. You can sign up for my bookish newsletter here.

The Mitford Books

One of my favorite fiction series is The Mitford series by Jan Karon. I think I discovered these books seven or eight years ago.

As soon as I read the first book in the series, At Home in Mitford, I knew it was the perfect comfort read series for me.

I like to describe this series as Anne of Green Gables for adults.

The Mitford books are set in the small fictional town of Mitford, North Carolina. It follows Father Tim and the people of Mitford.

Mitford is full of everyday people living everyday life. As you read through the series, the residents of Mitford become your friends.

In the Mitford series, Puny Bradshaw is Father Tim’s housekeeper.

I recently bought the Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader. When I saw a recipe for Puny’s Mac and Cheese in the Mitford Cookbook, I knew that it would be the perfect recipe to share for a Cooking Through My Collection recipe.

This mac and cheese recipe reminds me of an old Taste of Home macaroni and cheese recipe I made years ago. It was probably close to twenty-five years ago. Long before I had this website.

That makes sense because the first Mitford book was published in 1994 and The Mitford Cookbook was published in 2004. The recipes are very1990s, but not in a bad way.

Puny’s Mac and Cheese recipe contains three types of cheese, plus sour cream. Yes, three different cheeses and sour cream. That is what makes it so good!

If you are a fan of the Mitford books, this cookbook is so much fun! It would also make a great gift for someone who loves the Mitford series.

Can Puny’s Mac and Cheese be made gluten free?

Yes, I used gluten-free pasta for this recipe, and it worked great. For recipes like this, I like a pasta that is a corn and rice blend.

Ingredients

  • butter
  • flour or gluten free flour blend for gluten free version
  • milk
  • sour cream
  • cream cheese
  • salt
  • ground nutmeg ( I left this out because my husband does not like nutmeg)
  • mustard powder
  • cayenne pepper
  • ground black pepper
  • cheddar cheese
  • parmesan cheese
  • elbow macaroni or gluten free elbow macaroni
  • butter, see note below
  • breadcrumbs or gluten free breadcrumbs for gluten free version, see note below
